"We have not had much of an intelligent discourse about health care, about the medical arms race, about those who don’t have insurance, about evidence, about disparities, about costs, or about rationing in the pages, websites or broadcasts of many American news organizations. It’s an agenda-setting role that journalists should play but often don’t in this arena of health care. While this is an American perspective, many of these themes are probably pertinent in the practice of health journalism around the globe. The future of health journalism will be determined by which roles journalists choose for themselves: cheerleader or watchdog, fear-mongerer or evidence-based reporter, part of the solution or part of the problem." - David Brown cc: Mary Jean #CCSVI
